Ipswich v Man City

Ipswich vs Manchester City Preview

Ipswich Town were unable to build upon gaining four points from their previous two games in the English top flight in midweek when the Tractor Boys suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Brighton and although the hosts hold home advantage once again on Sunday afternoon, they will be up against a Manchester City side who are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions.

Manchester City have seemingly recovered from their previously unprecedented poor run of form as The Citizens bring a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions into Sunday afternoon's encounter against Ipswich Town at Portman Road, picking up three wins during this period as well.

Ipswich Town currently sit third from bottom in the Premier League table and therefore find themselves amongst the relegation zone but the hosts are level on points with fourth from bottom Wolves and only a point behind Everton heading into this weekend's top flight action.

League wins have been hard to come by for Kieran McKenna's side though this term as the Tractor Boys have only managed to collect victories against Tottenham, Wolves and Chelsea, the latter being a 2-0 home win at Portman Road.

Nevertheless, valuable points picked up by way of being involved in seven draws have at least helped Ipswich Town keep tabs on the teams sitting above them in the table.

Manchester City occupy sixth place in the Premier League table and find themselves three points adrift of the top four pack and the Champions League places ahead of Sunday's trip to Suffolk to take on strugglers, Ipswich Town.

Having produced an excellent start to this current Premier League campaign by putting together an 11-game unbeaten sequence which included collecting no fewer than nine wins in the process, it looked like a foregone conclusion that Pep Guardiola's side would cruise to yet another top flight title this term.

However, Manchester City's sudden dramatic decline in form resulted in the current title holders gaining just one win within a nine-game sequence which also included being handed six defeats within this period as well, thus effectively ruling the visitors out of the title race this season.

Recent victories gained over Leicester City 2-0 and West Ham 4-1 though have restored some of Manchester City's former pride and Pep Guardiola's side know they have a great opportunity to grab another three points here on Sunday afternoon against an Ipswich Town outfit who have struggled to pick up league wins this season.

Ipswich Town v Manchester City Verdict

Ipswich Town struggled to break down Brighton's defences in midweek on their way to a 2-0 loss at home so the Tractor Boys will be hoping for better luck this Sunday but despite City's well documented decline, this won't be an easy assignment for the hosts.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 2.05
